We have treated over 280 patients with breast cancer in 2019! In all of 2018, we treated 275 patients with breast cancer. This is a testament to the growth of the program.
Haiti has had significant political problems in the last two months, with barricades being placed on the streets several days a week. Our dedicated staff has made sure that we stayed open all but three days in the last two months. While not all the patients can make it in on time for their treatment, we must be there for them if they are able to. Last week, we treated 50 patients despite the problems. We also held an awareness event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month that was attended by nearly 100 women. We always ask them to educate three women in their inner circles as well. So hundreds of women have more knowledge than they did this time last week!
We are here for our patients and want to thank you for being there for us during these difficult times.
